Question

tap to select a matching pair. once two options are selected, tap on the check match button. frequency the number of cycles divided by the time for those cycles to occur. amplitude speed the maximum distance a point on the medium is displaced from rest. the distance a point on the wave travels divided by the time of travel. the time divided by the number of cycles of vibration occurring during that time period

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Wave Concepts

• Frequency: Number of cycles per unit time (cycles/time). The description "The number of cycles divided by the time for those cycles to occur" matches Frequency.
• Amplitude: Maximum displacement from rest. The description "The maximum distance a point on the medium is displaced from rest" matches Amplitude.
• Speed: Distance traveled by a wave point per unit time (distance/time). The description "The distance a point on the wave travels divided by the time of travel" matches Speed.
• Period: Time per cycle (time/cycles). The description "The time divided by the number of cycles of vibration occurring during that time" matches Period.

Step2: Match Each Term

• Frequency ↔ "The number of cycles divided by the time for those cycles to occur"
• Amplitude ↔ "The maximum distance a point on the medium is displaced from rest"
• Speed ↔ "The distance a point on the wave travels divided by the time of travel"
• Period ↔ "The time divided by the number of cycles of vibration occurring during that time"

Answer:

• Frequency: The number of cycles divided by the time for those cycles to occur.
• Amplitude: The maximum distance a point on the medium is displaced from rest.
• Speed: The distance a point on the wave travels divided by the time of travel.
• Period: The time divided by the number of cycles of vibration occurring during that time.
